I'm having trouble setting up my switch and getting it to connect to my software controller.

 

My network is at 10.6.1.0/24 but the switch turns on with the IP 192.168.0.1

I was very surprised because the switch is configured to use DHCP:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried adopting it into my software controller anyway, but it failed:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then i tried setting a static IP and adopting again. It progressed further:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But it ultimately failed, and if you look closely, the adoption process changed its IP back to 192.168.0.1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are the errors that I can see on the software controller:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

 

 

PS - It also occurred to me that my network configurations could be wrong, but they seem right to me:


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What could I try to fix this? What settings might be wrong?

Check if you have set the PVID properly before the switch can contact a DHCP server to get an IP from the subnet and DHCP server where your controller locates.

  @Clive_A Thank you for the response. 

 

I haven't set up any VLANS yet, what should my PVID be and where can I set it?

Meaning this is the default VLAN 1?

 

If so, the switch does not get the IP address, which means there is a connection problem. There is no link to the DHCP server, so the switch cannot get a DHCP IP.

  @Clive_A Yes.

 

My current hardware does not support VLANs, so my whole network is at 10.6.1.0/24

 

What should I be looking for that might be causing the link to the DHCP server to be failing?

Physical link. Or have you set a VLAN on the switch before? 

You can consider Wirehshark to see more about the DHCP interaction between them.
